I got another commissioned request to make a custom card for Star Wars X-wing miniatures. This time they wanted “Backdraft”. This one was interesting because they wanted me to shrink the stats section so that there would be more room for the Art. This made things slightly more complicated but I think I managed to pull it off. So, for anyone else out there who might be making their own custom cards I’ll share some of the process in hopes that it may be of use to some..

On the other two cards I was able to use “Strange Eons” to simply swap out the art and change all the stats. In order to change the size of the cards stats and keep things in proportion I was either going to have to do a lot of photo shopping or get lucky and find a template of some sort. Lucky me I stumbled across said template over at “afewmaneuvers.com” thanks to a user who goes by the user name “GeckoTH”. Way to go man! That’s some nice work your doing. This helped move things along quite a bit. Then, I had to find and install the matching fonts, shrink each layer, and do some creative cutting and pasting.

Unfortunantely, there where still a few missing icons that I needed to finish the job. I grabbed them from either Strange Eons or from other scans on the web.

So with the template all set then I had to create the graphic. My instructions where to draw her in booty shot pose and give her short punk rockish hair. Since there is no art for this character I could do whatever. But, then I decided to give her a blaster.. I know some of you are going to say “Why is she holding a Power 5 Heavy Pistol? She should be holding a SE-44c Blaster Pistol!”, and to that I say.. I just thought it looked cooler for this image. I’m not even sure if I colored the pistol right. It seems to be different on every site I looked at and after a few hours of diving through Star Wars forums my head started to hurt.

Anyways, it’s finished now and I’m going to go get started on the next Ant Guy page.

These were fun to do. I was asked to create some custom pilot cards for the Star Wars card game X-Wing miniatures. Thankfully it was super easy to do, all I had to do was draw the pilots and then I used Strange Eons to put together the rest of the cards. It’s a fantastic program that let’s you create custom cards for many popular card games out there. I don’t play a lot of card games but I’m fascinated by the attention to detail that’s put into the mechanics of these games. If this is the sort of thing that your into then go to the following link -> Strange Eons

I’m also guessing that if that’s the kind of thing your into then you already know about it 😉

Thanks for checking out my post. Have a good day and if you can help someone else have a good day tomorrow, please do it.

I just finished this painting. I’ve drawn a ton of dragons over the years but they tended to be more of the medieval type. So this is my first attempt at a Japanese Dragon. Looking at it all I see are mistakes but overall I’m happy with it. I’ll probably start drawing these more often, they are pretty interesting. I’ve already got my next canvas and want to try more new things so to anyone who’s reading this feel free to leave a suggestion. Who knows I may give it a shot.

Also, I noticed while previewing this post that the image seems a little blurry. You can just click on it or open it in a new tab and it sharpens up.
